Sir John, no problem, we'll be able to stand or fit otherwise. If more than 3 make it I am sure someone can run the camera. I checked in with the person coordinating for the Philadephia Arts festival, and am waiting to hear back from them. I will update when I have any info.

I thought to myself, that usually when one gets knighted there should be a Patent of Knighthood. I did find one online so I used this as a starting point and came up with this one. I think it looks nice...even if noone else doesn't...I'd like mine signed by Sir Edward...by the way, it's already signed by William Marshal himself! No joke...his signature is online and I downloaded it. Tell me what you think.

Very nice design, Sir John. I think it is an appropriate addition to one's knighting. If anything, it's a reminder of your ceremony.

Sir John:  I approve this patent and you have inspired me to do likewise!  Many thanks and when the time of my accolade comes, be prepared Brethren, it will be the cherry on top of the cake. ;)

I like that, Sir John.  I'm thinking we should all have one- those of us currently knighted into the Order, with future knightings to follow with this format.  What does Sir Edward say on this matter?

That's mainly the purpose of the certificates we do now. :) But folks are free to have whatever customized items they like as well. There's no rule against it.

Of course, and I cast no aspersions on the certificate format we have used thus far; I just liked the look of Sir John's as well.

I haven't seen your certificate for knighthood of the Order. I made this one up because I was unaware you already had one. My appologies.

Now I see the goal in plain sight, now i see the visual aspiration. Many thanks Sir James, you are getting this squire geared up for serious training and adherence to the Chivalric code.

Thanks for posting your certificate. I tend to be more artistic and excentric...so I think I'll use mine. If the group likes my certificate, I can e-mail a larger version. If not...no problem.
